How has the court interpreted the meaning of a jury instruction in a criminal case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Friend, No. G039675 (Cal. App. 3/11/2010), No. G039675. (Cal. App. 2010):
We fail to see how this argument relates to CALCRIM No. 440. Its purpose was to instruct the jury as to the law. (People v. Saldana (1984) 157 Cal.App.3d 443, 453.) A jury instruction is not designed to give a defendant "adequate notice of what constitutes a felony" vis--vis the prosecutor's charges.
